How easy is it to get add med?

I’ve been getting it off the streets. Availability is the problem. I don’t take it recreationally. It helps me get work done.
I’d guess each situation is different, but has anyone gotten a script from simply making an appt to see a psych and telling them your situation? Could it be one and done or do they typically do a bunch of tests that require multiple visits?

I tried this when I was around 32 or 33. They wanted to do multiple visits so I just said fuck it and called it a wash with my $30 co-pay for the visit.

You need psychiatric and medical history. Psychiatrist prescribed it.

Since you're a cash paying customer they would probably give over some right away, especially if you give them a proper cause to prescribe it to you; perhaps you had a prescription from another doctor in another state and you ran out a few months ago and you're really starting to feel like you miss the benifit of dosing the drug that used to make you "feel" more "normal", ect, ect.
Idk They probably get a bonus for prescribing it anyway.
Also you better look up how much the bullshit cost without insurance at the drug store because you're likely already better off buying them from a buddy who gets a script.

My wife developed a panic disorder probably around August 2022. Finding a psychiatrist with availability was a pain in the ass. Eventually, we did find one for $190.00/appointment one state away (we live within 15 miles of 3 different states so different than if you live in the Midwest or something). She had already taken Adderall and that was her end goal.
Month One: She's prescribed with OCD, anxiety and depression. He gives her Wellbutrin and Klonopin. Month Two: He increases her dose of Wellbutrtin. She also states mid-month that she can't sleep. He prescribes her Trazodone. In the same month, he prescribes her Lunesta. Month Three: He prescribes her methylphenidate extended release (generic). He increases the dose of Lunesta. Month Four: After she writes long essays about her symptoms, focusing heavily on her anxiety in response to methylphenidate and the short half-life, going further, she states that Vyvanse seems like it'll be the best option for her. Doctor prescribes Vyvanse, starting her on 30 mg.
All-in-all, without insurance, we've spent well over $1,500 since she started the process (nearly $800 on appointments and almost $400 on her first month supply of Vyvanse). It's been a real pain-in-the-ass, but at least, she finally has legal access to amphetamines. We'll get insurance in January, so that'll make it all the more worth it. My brother and her both tell me to get a legitimate prescription but I'm not sure I can play dumb and go through the same process.
tl;dr It'll take months, you'll have to play dumb and it'll be very expensive without insurance. If you're willing to go through the first few months, though, it'll probably be worth it in the long run if you have insurance.
